An Alleged Robbery.

Jackson Webb, who halls from Colusa,
appeared at the station-house last evening
and preferred a complaint of grand larceny
against Chnawomen named All Cum. He
said that while he was on the sidewalk on
l street, the woman came up to him, in
serted her hand N his jacket, and extracted
$40 therefrom. Officers Mccormack and
Franks made the arrest. They found her
to be an old feeble woman, probably 90
years of age, and so decrepit that she
moves only with difficulty. The police
are impressed with the belief that the
woman was not capable of committing the
robbery as charged. She was released on
bail. The determination is expressed of
requiring a thorough examination of the
facts of the case. to ascertain whether in
deed. Webb was robbed by All Chum, or
whether it is trumped up charge. 1t
seems almost impossible that SO feeble an
old creature could commit such crime.

Twentieth and and streets When the
department arrived the barn was almost IN
ashes and a small frame dwelling house
was III flames. a barn adjoining caught
on FIRE and partially burned A north
wind was blowing and the roofs of several
dwellings caught on fire, which was put
out By The department. The barn and
dwelling burned was the property of Mrs

the property of F. L. Ewing, and the loss

A New Cropping Ont.

The question seems to be at present as to
whether or net the paid police Of the city
are SO far controlled BY the influence of the
bosses as to make them partisan in the
Fire Department contest, to the injury OF
the ci,v's property and interests. 1t was
noticeable during the time that O'Meara
was acting Chief ;hat an unusual fellow
feeling seemed TO exist, iDsomuch that tn.
police We're thick and actively
helped at fires in preventing teams
from being driven over the fire
hose and in protecting property.
Yesterday an entirely different disposition
was manifested at The fire on Nineteenth
street, when police We're not only totally
Indifferent to the work Of the fire depart
ment, but one of them voiced the apparent
attitude of the others when be remarked
that if O'Meara was Chief he would 90 ali
in his power to aid at fires, but he would
not for Con. Sullivan, nor any one acting
in his place Also instead of preventing
teams being driven over the lines of hose,
he engaged in the pastime OF driving leis-
urely over them himself, thereby openly
violating city ordinance. If the "infiu-
ences" which have sought to run the Fire
Department for selfish ends and the spois
only, have so strong hold upon the police
as thus indicated, it would be well for the
Police Commissioners TO look into the af-
fair. or, if they will not do so, for the peo-
pie to prepare their ballots to elect those
who will

Improvement Work.

The Committee on Sidewalks and Shade
Trees held meeting last evening, and an
enthusiastic spirit for the work of improv-
ing and beautifying the city was mani
fest. The sub committee concerning prices,
etc, for laying artificial-StOne walks, re-
ported that there was SO much of this class
of work at present in progress in Sacra-
mento that every contractor for this class
of cement work had all the work engaged
that they could complete during the next
three months. AS the object of the COM
mittee in this regard was to procure in
ducements in prices, etc, so as to increase
the amount of this kind of walk being put
down, and as all cement-walk LAYERS are
now engaged to their utmost capacity the
object of the committee seems to have been
already fully realized, and shows marked
degree of activity in city improvement.
The general committee has divided the
city into districts of several blocks each,
and assigned members of the committee
and others resident in the several districts,
10 look after the matter of sidewalks and
shade-tree improvements in the various see
tons. The work of these members is for
the public good only, and should receive
the active cooperation of all property
owners. The work of setting out shade
trees will he urged as soon as the season for
transplanting arrives.
An ordinance will also be prepared and
recommended for passage prescribing that
artificial stone walks shall be laid on the
principal business streets. whenever new
walks are laid This would greatly i'm
prove the appearance of the streets, and
greatly add 10 the value of property in
front OF which snch walk was laid.
The Committee on Driveways ami County
Roads will hold a meeting at headquarters
Of the Improvement Association, 426 J
street, this evening at o'clock.
